Transitioned into keto around 6 months ago and haven’t been able to reach therapeutic ketosis could use some advice.

I started keto around 6 months ago maybe more for weight loss but also to see if it would help with mental health etc. while I’ve lost weight which is my main goal I haven’t been able to get into therapeutic ketosis 3.0+ unless I fast for 5+ days. As soon as I start eating it goes way down ranges from .2-.3 ketones.

Now I get numbers may not matter to most of you but when I hit 3.0+ when fasting I feel better physically and mentally not much but it helps a little I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong when I start eating.

I’ve tested my numbers throughout the day multiple times per day since the beginning using the keto mojo since urine etc seems to be super unreliable based on my research.

While I’m reaching my main weight goal my new goal is to stay in therapeutic ketosis for the mental benefits I could use some advice on how to do it.

I drink around 64-128oz of water per day eat one meal per day although not very active but I’m working on it. I linked some pictures of my meals. You’ll notice I pretty much eat the same 2-3 meals I really haven’t cared about variety just been keeping it simple stupid during the initial weight loss.

Started close to 300 now 190 looking at 140 maybe a bit more since starting a few years ago.

There’s a little more variety but recently deleted MyFitnessPal and moved to Cronometer so don’t have much data

Food Logs

Chicken

Ground Beef

Pecans

Cheese

Electrolytes

Spices

Butter

Eggs

Protein Powder 0 Carbs

Nova

Tuna, Egg salad with just mayo and salt pepper

Don’t really eat any vegetables I was the first month or two but wasn’t worth the constant trips to the grocery store like stuff I can freeze and forget about or just won’t go bad after a few days so just been sticking with the above foods.

I don’t think I’m doing anything that should be preventing me from reaching therapeutic ketosis but again could use your advice. I know eggs and cheese have carbs along with the spices but don’t go over 20 net.

Anyone in a condo own a treadmill?

I ordered a treadmill now rethinking the decision after reading tons of posts saying not to on different subs. I am on the first floor so I don’t have anyone below me to worry about.

I am worried about the sound traveling next door or up to my neighbors could use some advice. Every post I’ve read doesn’t mention first floor use just upstairs.

I plan on getting a mat and just walking 3-5 MPH not running for now.

Having second thoughts of purchasing a treadmill first floor

So I ordered a treadmill but now having second thoughts. I do live on the first floor but after hearing how loud the treadmill is online (70 decibels) I’m contemplating my decision.

I have normal tile no hard wood and plus again it’s the first floor but don’t know if people upstairs would hear me. I’m a night owl so I plan to use it 1-4am before I start work and eat I have a set schedule that works don't like to deviate.

I do plan on getting a mat still looking guess I could just use some advice should I just cancel it? I don’t have transportation so the gym really isn’t an option probably wouldn’t go even if I could. I don't plan on running just walking after being bed bound for awhile due to surgery.

Don’t think my HOA has anything about indoor machines but I don’t know. I had one maybe 15 years ago in the same place no one said anything but since the place has degraded.

I can hear people next door just talking so I mean the walls are kinda thin it's an old place. Don't really get along or talk with anyone around here would rather not get into that part but just don't want to make things worse.

Those that bought directly from Sole how long did shipping take I was up to 3 weeks?

Purchased my first treadmill from Sole website directly but wondering if I’ve made a mistake. I was told it could take up to 3 weeks since I picked inside delivery (not setup). Also been reading some posts it took a month or two.

Does shipping really take this long I just went on dicks and it looks like it would take a week or 2 max so wondering if I should cancel or is it better to buy directly from Sole. Didn’t get the extended warranty as it seems they already offer a good warranty policy.

I'm in the U.S

Maps app won't open on MacOS Tahoe when signed into iCloud account

Recently purchased a used MacBook Air M2 it's been working great. A few days ago I tried opening the maps app and it wouldn't open only a crash report window pops up.

Well I was chatting with support yesterday for 5-6 hours and didn't get much help. They recommended I do a fresh install and see if that would work even though I told them I did that twice already.

So after every step of the setup I went back and forth trying to rule things out. It turns out the maps app will now open if I have "Saved to iCloud" disabled for maps. If it's enabled the maps app won't open.

So while now I can use the maps app none of my iCloud map data will be synced which sucks. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem could really use some advice. This didn't happen on my MacBook Pro same OS version which is Tahoe 26.5

Really don't want to wipe my Mac again I'm already on my 3rd complete wipe and manual restore.

For anyone going to recommend to check my location services it's enabled this was also happening on the previous version of Tahoe.

Anyway to have 2 separate iCloud photo libraries?

So my mom's old iPhone 5 for some reason no longer backs up to iCloud just can't sign in anymore on that device. So is there anyway to add her photos to my iCloud account but have them separated from my iCloud Photo Library.

She just has tons of photos and don't want them getting scrambled with my current library. Her library doesn't need to sync constantly but won't to be able to access them anywhere incase of computer or phone failure. Only my photo library needs to sync with my system.

I know I can upload the photos into a folder in my iCloud Drive but want it to work with the photos app sync faces, places etc.

Bought a used MacBook Air M2 a few weeks ago seemed like everything was working. I just tried opening the Maps app and it crashes instantly. Not sure why didn't have this problem with my M3 MacBook Pro. Location services are enabled and I've already restarted the Mac a few times with no luck. Also checked to see if maybe there were some updates but this is the latest version.

Not sure what else to do really don't want to wipe my entire laptop after recently transferring everything over.

I have 2 Samsung SSDs I'm looking to sell. Need the extra cash or I really wouldn't bother. Just trying to find out the best way to wipe my data. They contained mostly pictures that I'd rather people not be able to recover but also don't want to destroy the SSD in the process.

I have a Mac so I'm sure there aren't many options available if any. I used to use DBAN or ShredOS for HDDs but know they aren't safe for SSDs could just use some advice. Would be greatly appreciated.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max need to mail it in for repairs it's using an esim. My only other iPhone is an iPhone 8 plus which requires a physical SIM card which I don't have. Wondering if it's possible to switch over for a week or 2 and then revert back. Is it possible, Does it cost anything? I have the dark star unlimited plan.

Was gonna chat with USMobile in the app but don't want to transfer anything now.
